Bro I moved to Linux years ago. I dont use Windows at all
I think Win10 already is everything what I need.
I have gotten a small feel of 11 from my girlfriend's laptop - it feels alright.
But I think I won't have reasons to upgrade. I haven't studied 11 at all so I don't even know am I missing something lol
I use Linux at home exclusively (Linux Mint Debian Edition).
Don't need Windows for anything but when I worked Enterprise IT the move to Windows 10 was a massive pain but we finally got it working and it wasn't too bad as an OS. There is no reason why you'd want to upgrade.
As for home users, from my experience people don't like change. If you move a single shortcut on the desktop , they are lost and panic .
So changing the entire look of the UI is not something people want. Plus Windows 10 auto update borked some windows 7 systems so users with that memory won't be keen to repeat it by upgrading to 11.

That thumbnail looks almost exactly as I would expect Zombie Jamie Hyneman to look like.
I wonder what's happening?
For me, It's linux mint on my main PC, goodbye windows.
Due to changes in my life and career, the only reason I'm stuck on Windows is gaming. I'm not sure which will happen first, buying a Steam Deck or converting my computer to Linux for gaming, but at least one of those will happen before I upgrade to 11.
I was in your boat a few years ago. I was familiar with a few linux distros because of my job but I was hesitant to switch because the games I was playing didnt have native linux support. Eventually, I started daily driving Ubuntu and after some minor tinkering with steam and lutris, I could play any game I wanted without any issues.
That said, while I think Ubuntu is a great distro over all, there's a part of me that worries that its only a matter of time before it goes to shit... So within the last year, I made the switch to Debian 12 and I flatpak'd everything. It was seriously one of the best decisions I've ever made in the context of personal computing. Seriously, its fucking seamless. Fuck windows 4 lyfe. All my homies hate windows.

Windows 11? Let's see here...
Spyware/malware since that infamous Windows 7 update sending everything (including passwords) to Microsoft. Ads spread across the UI in W11. Simple features hidden or disabled. Bing Internet search results in the Start Menu that can't be disabled unless you edit the registry. Search engine in the Start Menu cannot be changed. Numerous other previously simple settings changes that now require registry edits. Menu items gone, and others that still exist but inexplicably have been removed from the Start Menu search. Edge browser forced down your throat no matter what you set as the default browser. Upgrades that you can't do at your convenience and forced restarts that happen even if you have open files that you're editing. Long (sometimes really long) upgrade restart times. Forced Microsoft account use to install and use the OS & Internet access required to even install the OS. Absurdly inflexible hardware requirements that make no sense for most people. A taskbar that can't be moved. Numerous programs and garbage spread through the OS that cannot be removed or disabled.
Besides that, what's not to like?
Oh no. This is terrifying.
I don't have an issue with win 11 since I disabled the ads. But these news smell like new and unnecessary "advancements", to make it more marketable. They'll ruin it completely...
"I grow tired of asking, so this will be the last time. Where is your Linux boot disk?"
"Help us Linus, you are our only hope"
I'm looking into backing up data so I can make the switch. We're out here. For decades Windows was good enough. But this recent stuff is just ridiculous.
Yep. My mobile workstation got switched to Mint from Windoes11. Next is my main laptop/desktop station....I don't use it enough to care lol.
Good. Windows 11 is trash.
